Border Control

Product Description

Globalization is leading to more porous borders. Though in many respects desirable, this trend has obvious downsides: open or lightly controlled borders make life much easier for people-smuggling rings and other forms of organized crime.

Moreover, poor border security greatly facilitates the activities of terrorist groups. Added to this is the growing problem of uncontrolled migration, set in motion by a variety of economic and political factors. In recent years, this global phenomenon has severely taxed the capacity of a number of nations to cope with the influx, leading to humanitarian problems and rising crime rates–a vicious cycle which is confronting internal security organizations with a whole new set of challenges.

To ensure their internal and external security, countries require the best-possible border protection, carefully customized to meet their particular requirements. Rheinmetall has the answer: a broad, interlinked array of optical and acoustic sensors, airborne monitoring systems and control facilities for border-crossing points.

Acoustic and optical sensors and radar systems enable surveillance of large areas.

Moreover, by networking all available information in one or more operations centres, it is possible to obtain a detailed overview of the situation in all sectors of the border control zone. This enables swift preventive action to be taken before an unauthorized border crossing has occurred. This way, it is possible to safeguard not only traditional border crossing points but also the increasing number of unprotected national boundaries.
